The three main complaints when it goes to Air conditioner is under performance, high noise levels and high cost of operation. Truth be told , these are usually related issues and are surprisingly general troubles that stem primarily from bad setting up , support and work . The great news is that they are usually cured through easy , quick and not expensive fixes.
First off, be sure you set up your air conditioner on the shadier side of your area . The cooler air on that side will help in the heat exchange process, so it wont have to work as hard. This is a free fix that will economize you dollars in electrical costs!
That said, make sure you aren’t installing your unit in the area with limited or hindered air flow.
Creating a tight seal around the place , where a unit meets the hole in your wall or the opening of your window is crucial for efficacious cooling. Weather stripping is cheap and easy to apply.
Insulation is your friend . If you’re a lessee or simply don’t have access to the nooks and crannies where insulation would go and are placing a window unit, our top side would be like the cheap accordion wings on the sides of your unit are nearly useless . You are better off picking up a piece of foam board available at almost every hardware store and cutting it to custom fit the gaps on wither part of your unit.
Lets notice it: window units aren’t exactly easy on the eyes. If you do not like the eye-wart of a window unit and want your view back, you can alternatively consider using Plexiglas to fill that gap. It wont be as insulating, but if you are employing the weather stripping mentioned earlier, you should still have a good, comfortable seal.
Clean your filter! A dirty filter will not just fail to work , but it will also cease the airflow of the entire system. An easy rule of thumb is when you have to clean the lint catcher in your dryer, you perhaps need to clean your air conditioner filter, as well.
What is key to point out here is that none of these fixes enlarged the power or cooling capability of your air conditioner. You still own the same unit you purchased one day. We have just enlarged the effectiveness of it. What is key here is that there are many small tips that you can do that will help your unit get its peak performance potential.
